Oh boy, just finding out about Bird on a Wing now...



edit: songs dope but I can definitely see why he left it off, not that its worse in quality but theres something a little more 'intense' and darker about it, and it feels less melancholic and dry, if that makes any sense

How you can place it in the same category as Only Love is bewildering. It was quite jarring at first but it grew on me hard.

Just listening to Bird on a Wing now and it's quite lovely. Could easily be the closer for the record.

I lowered Florence & The Machine and The Republic of Wolves to 4.7's just to illustrate that this is, unequivocally, my AOTY so far.

This is in the running for AOTY so far, top 5:



- this

- A.A.L

- Paddy Hanna

- Eleanor Friedberger

- Tropical Fuck Storm



Still hoping an ‘unequivocal 5’ emerges second half of the year

Ben was fantastic last night, played all of the new album + a couple off his last record. God the crowd's are still shit though, still people just there to here Every Kingdom tracks.

That would irritate me so much considering that album has nothing on this one.

It's good for what it is but yeah his new stuff is so much better, the old record just reminds me of shitty fans now. Have you listened to IFWWW much Sowing?

I have. It's about on par with EK for me, but this album elevates him to a new level I didn't think he was capable of.

IFWWW is better than this and I'm floored and personally insulted that you would say it's the same quality as Every Kingdom smh

IFWWW is much more similar to Noonday dream as seen below on the official scale

I've listened to it several times tbh but I prefer this style more. Burgh Island EP is my second favorite from him.



EK and IFWWW are both good in their own ways but they feel comparitively basic.

I just don't see it, this is much more stripped down than IFWWW. Not saying that's a bad thing but I think it's relatively basic in comparison

"I'm floored and personally insulted that you would say it's the same quality as Every Kingdom smh"

Are his other albums really that good compared to this?
